Micro-Currency: In French City Of Nantes, Soon You Can Pay In Nantos

The measure addresses the increasing importance of non-monetary exchanges between firms, a tendency that is particularly visible in times of financial crisis.

People taking initiative to create a parallel means of exchange without depending on the debt based abuse system is a very good news.
